  • A trip to the farm, and the 'good old days'

    Last weekend, my wife and I loaded up the front-wheel drive sleigh and headed to the country for one of those long-standing, old-fashioned family traditions that we just started - picking apples.

    It was the perfect afternoon for a relaxing, quiet day on the farm. The sun was shining, a light breeze was blowing, and the temperature was a comfortable 80 degrees.

    So we headed to Huber Farms, which is just outside the Louisville metropolitan area in the rolling hills of Floyd's Knobs, Ind., to spend the day with Joe Huber and his family and about 30,000 of our closest friends.

  • 'Burn After Reading' is stupid, violent and loads of fun

    Very rarely do I see a film in which they show every detail of somebody getting shot in the head at point-blank range. It's even more rare for me to see this and laugh out loud.

    But that was the response from the audience watching Burn After Reading, the Coen Brothers' latest release.

    It's over-the-top in both humor and in violence, leading the audience from giggles to gasps and back in the blink of an eye.

  • Down on the (horse) farm... - Owners trying to rein in galloping costs

    When Catherine Fortener brings her 30 horses in for breakfast every morning at Big Springs Farm, the animals are taking a much bigger bite out of the budget than they used to.

    Horse owners in the county say the rising cost of the horse farm's mainstays - feed, fuel and fertilizer - has forced them to scramble for cost-cutting measures at the same time they have had to raise prices on some of their services in order to remain in business on the farm.

    Fortener's horses - some she owns, some she boards - each eat several pounds of grain and a couple of flakes of hay every day.
